Mary Fellowes has been appointed the sustainability advisor to the UK Children\u2019s Parliament – a group of around 270 children from across the country.<\/p>\n
Together they will bring attention to the ecological and social consequences of cheap, rapidly produced mass-market clothing.<\/p>\n
The Children\u2019s Parliament was launched in 2021 and matches seven to 11 year-olds to MPs and their constituencies.<\/p>\n
Budding politicians take part in online debates about important topics including sustainability, climate change, making the world safer, and access to drinking water.<\/p>\n
The initiative honours the late Sir David Amess, who was stabbed to death at a constituency surgery in October 2021 after serving as an MP for almost 40 years.<\/p>\n
The partnership with Ms Fellowes was launched when she met the UK Children\u2019s Prime Minister, Harry Acheampong, at a digital fashion event.<\/p>\n
